Schindler spoke to reporters shortly before 1 p.m. outside the Woodside Hospice, where Schiavo is being cared for.

Several days ago, a family spokesman reported that Terri's mother, Mary Schindler, was so upset at her daughter's appearance that she because physically ill at the bedside. Schiavo's brother, Bobby Schindler, said that her condition was so alarming he was suggesting his parents not go see her.

Bob Schindler said today that he was "scared to death to go in to see her, for fear of what I'd see." But, he said, "she has amazing endurance, what she's been through for this past week. And it's incredible to see how she's acting."

David Gibbs, the family lawyer, had said earlier that Schiavo was past the point that she could have her feeding tube reinserted, but the family disputed it.

Gibbs also said she was receiving morphine. Schindler said he had "a grave concern that they'll expedite the process to kill her with an overdose of morphine."

Legal options seem to have run out for the Schindlers. But Schindler called again upon government leaders and the courts to intervene.

"I plead again that the powers that be don't give up on her," he said. "She has to be saved. She has to be saved. And it can be done. And we plead for her."

Why is it that in EVERY article written about this case, the LSM ALWAYS refers to Terri as "severely brain-damaged Terri Schiavo"? Even though it's true, doesn't that do a disservice to her and any remaining hope for the nurishment to be restored? continued prayers for Terri and her family.

(AN ACTIVIST JUDICIARY IS A CULT!!!!! IT MUST BE ERADICATED FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH.)

The following is what we've been told by the MSM, Judges, and all others opposed to Terri's Right to Live:

1). She's brain dead.

2).She cannot feel pain.

3). Death by Starvation is painless, euphoric and dignified.

4). Terri has a morphine drip to dull her pain.

Going back to 1, 2 and 3, pain is not an issue.But, 4 states that the doctors aren't really sure, are they?

Should not Govenor Bush issue a search warrant to investigate whether a violation of ethics by performing cruel and unusual punishment on a human being has occured because plainly Terri is in pain and feels every bit of it?

Or, are the doctors hastening Terri's death?

Perhaps, the hospice is actually running an experiment on her while she is starving?

Are doctors authorized by the Government to run experiments on human beings without their knowledge?

Violence? NO NO NO What can we do? Impeach Greer in the state system for the details below, and impeach Whittimore in the federal system for ignoring the law passed by congress.

Here's a question that I know has probably been asked on the forum, but when she dies and with all of the questions about the circumstances that brought her to this point, could there be a homicide investigation?

It seems that the local police (perhaps, the sheriff's office specifically) is in cahoots with Michael Schavio's side of the argument. I don't know the laws with regards to the autopsy (and I don't know what the autopsy would reveal), but the autopsy seems like it should be done.

Course, I think that the facts about how Terri came to be in this medical condition are going to die with her. Because, as I have read, there are only 2 ways in which she could have suffered the initial injury:

1. From an existing medical condition; or, 2. Being suffocated (or having the blood cut off)

And, from what I have read, there was no detected or even suspected medical condition that could have induced the injury that Terri suffered, based on her prior medical history. And, barring an undiagnosed medical condition, which is certainly possible, the 2nd option seems possible.

Not to mention that if she would have continued to receive the therapy she was receiving, she would have continued to progress, as she had already been.

But, up until this point, no investigtion, no conclusion, no nothing.

Michael Schavio wants Terri to die, whether by her own wish's or his. Either way, the truth dies with her.

Me too. Just don't understand it. If Islamicists take over the judiciary someday and begin stoning people to death out behind the courthouse, will the executive and legislative branches turn a blind eye because they want to avoid a constitutional crisis? Jesus Christ! The gutlessness we're seeing in this case is sickening.

You might begin with prayer for God's little one Terri Schiavo. Then if it's not too much maybe email the Bush brothers and ask them to intervene. In other words, do what you would do if Terri were your little girl.

"And whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward." - (MATHEW 10:42)

"Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me." (MARK 9:37)

"So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish". (Mathew 18:14)

Wondering if other families of patients in that hospice, have considered removing them and placing them in a hospice that will actually follow the doctors orders. To do what's in the best interest of the patient. Not to follow the orders of a husband, by withholding treatment and who has led a well orchestrated plan to murder his wife.

The lesson in all this is not to trust your fate to the legal system, medical system, political system -- and certainly not the media, if one wants a rational outcome. It means a need for greater self-sufficiency and self-reliance, which begins of course, by making better discriminations and decisions.

Generally, it is not a good idea to marry the first and only person one ever dates. And then when the marriage goes bad, it's not a waste of the years put into it, to get out of it, at whatever cost, or it could cost you your life. There are no guarantees of a happy outcome -- no matter what the demagogues promise. We all take our best shot and make the best from what we know.

The President or the Governor can write an executive order to get Terri into a hospital immediately. It is not breaking any law to do so. This action would not interfere with the judge. And since Greer already flaunted a Congressional subpoena his ruling is highly questionable.

Executive orders are lawful. They've been written by presidents ever since Washington on a number of different issues.

Contacting the president and ask him to write an executive order immediately. If you cannot reach him, then contact your state senators and representatives.
